I've got so much velvet in my house, it's worthy of its very own post.But today, I'm talking about velvet of the ingestible kind.

(As a weird aside, I just realized that EXACTLY two years ago to the day,I wrote a post about red velvet donuts.I hereby declare February 9 as National Red Velvet Day).

As a rule, I try not to post recipes that have been seen all over blog land,

but these cookies are SO good, I had to make an exception.

The recipe comes from the McCormick company,

the maker of the red food color, and vanilla extract,which is used in this recipe.

I've made their red velvet cake recipe many times, and, having tried several others, it is hands down, the best I've had.(No, this post is not being sponsored).

Based on my experience with the cake recipe,I gave the cookies a chance. Success!Let's just say eating these cookies is the oral equivalent of wrapping a luxurious velvet scarf around your neck. A red velvet scarf, of course.

Aside from the fact that these cookies are soooo good,they are super-easy!

Just a note before you go and take out all of the ingredients from your pantry -

the cookie dough must chill in the refrigerator for four hours,

so be sure to factor that into your baking plan.

That gives you a chance tochill, too,while your cookie dough does the same.

YUM, truth be told my heart was singing and hopping reading this post GF. I can't wait to make these. Red Velvet cookies are a HUGE hit in this house and my family. The recipe I used last Christmas somehow vanished from my Pinterest board and the ones I made I didn't like.

These will be my new recipe and made for next weekend for my brother and SIL.

Well, you know I'm the unofficial cookie monster (ok, auto correct just filled in 'mobster'. It must know I'm Italian). I love velvet too! Someday, I want a deep blue velvet sofa. But I digress. I bought some kind of red velvet stuff from King Arthur a few years ago but never used it. Wonder if it's still good or if I'll be carted away by some emt? I'll take my chances.

Not a huge fan of red velvet cake..it has no taste to me....but these cookies look so good, I would try one if there were a plate of them in front of me! The chocolate chips help me to want to make them...a lot!

Amy I am baking the second pan of your cookies now. My my goodness they are to die for! I always make a Saturday Treat for my husband to take and share at work. They will be going with him in the morning,but not before I sneek one or two for myself. I thinking coffee and a cookie sounds wonderful. Recipe goes in my keep file. Thanks for sharing. Happy Valentine's Day. My five year old grandson is coming by shortly to have a few also.

I'm so glad that you are enjoying them, Lynne! Thank you SO much for letting me know that you made them, and more importantly, liked them! I hope the folks your husband works with enjoy them, too. Have a great weekend!

These look and sound delicious, Amy, but I have to confess that for a while now, I've stayed away from food colouring, unnecessary preservatives, anything that is made with a million ingredients, and anything I cannot pronounce!
